Feeding and other inter-species relationships

Associated with ORCHIDACEAE:

	leaf (live)	live leaf is mined by larva	Delina nigrita - a leaf-mining dung fly (Diptera: Scathophagidae)		Robbins, R., 1990 [a broad, irregular corridor, mostly alongside the midrib and with fairly long side-spurs. Larva may mine a number of leaves.]
	leaf (live)	live leaf is mined by solitary, then gregarious larva	Parallelomma vittatum - a leaf-mining dung fly (Diptera: Scathophagidae)		Robbins, R., 1990 [A few larvae mine individual corridors, then make a communal deep upper-surface blotch, but sometimes whole leaves may be mined out. Pupariates externally.]
	mycorrhiza	mycorrhiza is associate of basidiome	Ceratobasidium cornigerum - a resupinate fungus (Ceratobasidiales: Ceratobasidiaceae)		Legon, N.W. & Henrici, A. with Roberts, P.J., Spooner, B.M. & Watling, R., 2005
	root (live)	live root is mycorrhizal host of fruitbody	Thanatephorus ochraceus - a basidiomycete (Ceratobasidiales: Ceratobasidiaceae)		Legon, N.W. & Henrici, A. with Roberts, P.J., Spooner, B.M. & Watling, R., 2005
